Experienced people who have been playing D&D for years still have headaches related to D&D rules.When people first start playing they can't understand it, so they're effectively simpifying the game anyway. A simple stripped down system with a couple of character classes and adventures is not going to destroy the hobby as we know it.I fondly recall the red box. It was what started me playing. It's important to have something like that. Most important was the SOLO-intro adventure. The old box had a great little one (or at least it was great when I was 9) with the deceptive wizard who charmed you and the rust monster who destroyed your armor. It sounds cliche but I remember it like it was yesterday.</blockquote>
